pressure gauges

Force per area readers

Pressure gauges are instruments that measure the pressure of gases or liquids in enclosed systems.

They appear on tanks, pipes, boilers, and tires—anywhere monitoring internal pressure matters for safety or function: The pressure gauge on the oxygen tank showed it was nearly empty.

Most display readings on a dial, though digital versions exist.
